You might know this game as the game that used the death of a real person as a plot device https://imgur.com/a/wmYHCTx Or the game where the creator thinks because people don't like his game, games aren't art and gamers are children https://i.imgur.com/AnerTZs.png Well a new update, it turns out the developer/writer has also plagiarized a chunk out of Haruki Murakami's book, "After Dark" https://i.redd.it/nx0yrvwng9z21.png The developer/writer has also stated in this blog post on Playstation, that Haruki Murakami was one of the team's inspirations for this game.
"Gamers can't appreciate true art. Like the one I stole!"
Am I out of touch? No, it's the gamers who are wrong.

you know, naming it after a massively overblown thing like Y2K might not have helped, but good god that looks like a hot mess of a game
Gamers are children, but I'll plagiarize something like basic schooling teaches us not to and do it from a source I've mentioned in the past as being an influence on the game. No one will ever know!
Has there ever actually been a game that was universally panned as pretentious unfun garbage by pretty much everybody ever that was indeed just too deep for the unwashed masses?
I think at this moment the creator of YIIK should consider a career move to something he is more capable at, for example, leaf collecting.
what happened to Elisa Lam was already sad and disturbing, if they plagiarized the video wholesale that at least would have been more honest than saying she got kidnapped by space aliens or some shit
Judging from what I've read about this guy, he probably has his head shoved so far up his ass that he thinks just straight up copying text from another work is a form of tribute, rather than just straight up plagiarism (which it is).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lcfxYXggEgU I'd say this song is fitting here but really to be let down you have to have expectations on something to begin with and well
YOU GUYS THIS GAME IS REALLY GOOD I SWEAR ITS JUST ART https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwCKPhlyU5M&t= This soundtrack is from hell please help this poor soul
So not only is this vapid idiot without an original thought, he's also totally devoid of the ability to create one himself
I feel p terrible for this guy coz there are just worse (and better) games out there not getting any attention while spotlight continues to shine on him.
why is this so choppy
garfield kart
honestly this is so absurd to watch that it almost feels like i'm witnessing badage boys: the game but only almost because even a fucking badage boys game would have a more coherent and likable story than this twenty dollar mistake
I guess Metal Gear Solid 2, depending on who you asked at the time
Fez? Maybe?
excuse me that game is a fucking masterpiece, a true modern picasso of game design
More like YIIKEES God Handnwas too deep for IGN
Why is it that these pretentious assholes who think their games are the next coming of Jesus all look the same. I legit thought this guy was Phil Fish, you know, the "choke on it guy" who got butthurt and cancelled the sequel no one wanted.
Have you ever seen them in the same room? 👀
Fez was a nice atmpospheric game that relied on its really compent art and music though. It's very much unlike YIIK, which wants to be an overwritten novel.
other than the bunch of walking sims that came circa 2010?
what?
they likely mean competent
It's not about him making a bland and uninteresting game, it's about him being unable to handle criticism and throwing a temper tantrum blaming everyone else
Not only did he plagiarize a book, he didn't even bother to change the wording a bit. Fucking. Astounding.
